Hugo & the P-3

Posted on January 10, 2010 | Comments Off on Hugo & the P-3

The P-3s are advertised as sub hunters but anybody who remembers the one that was downed flying along China’s border a few months before 9/11 may remember that it was packed with computers for listening to digital and analog communications.

Course it’s a bit hard to imagine Hugo’s regime being particularly sophisticated enough to warrant P-3 snooping. Which makes our denial more than plausible for once. I do wish Chavez & Co. didn’t have F-16s, but that’s neither here nor there now. Worse is Hugo’s new ties with Iran.

Joe Kennedy won’t seek Uncle Ted’s slot

Posted on September 8, 2009 | Comments Off on Joe Kennedy won’t seek Uncle Ted’s slot

Oh boo-hoo. The hypocritical political dynasty will not continue, apparently. Whew. That was close. We almost got RFK’s son, whose good works include taking more than half a million dollars in salary as president of something called Citizens Energy Corp. It buys fuel oil from Venezuela to give to Boston’s poor. Isn’t that precious. Another publically "progressive" Kennedy privately raking it in, Enron-style. One CEO taking high pay that Obamalot isn’t interested in demeaning or investigating. Course not.

Boycott Conoco (& Citgo, of course)

Posted on September 8, 2008 | Comments Off on Boycott Conoco (& Citgo, of course)

That would be the first step for gasoline and diesel consumers to take between now and November, when Russia plans to send warships to Venezuela for an offshore military exercise. It should be considered an act of war, but one with a simple solution. Next, as the Seablogger suggests, President Bush should start milking the strategic reserve, so we can cease buying oil from Hugo Chavez until early spring. That should be long enough to collapse the Venezuelan economy, bring Hugo down, and send an unmistakable  message to his successor. None of which would be necessary, of course, if we were sensibly drilling for oil to replace the purchases that keep dictators like Hugo in business.
